US announces nearly $1 billion in longer-term weapons support for Ukraine
ai generated text
The Biden administration has increased military aid to Ukraine, with the latest package totaling nearly $988 million. This amount is in addition to previous US military assistance of $725 million. The funds will be used to support Kyiv and will include drones and HIMARS munitions from Pentagon stockpiles. Since Russia's February 2022 invasion, US military aid to Ukraine has exceeded $62 billion.
We're not going to stop Putin by telling Ukraine we aren't going to give you anything more.
Others will decide the course ahead. And I hope that they will build on the strength that we have forged over the past four years.
Together, we have helped Ukraine survive an all-out assault by the largest military in Europe.
The engine of our efforts has been the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which first met in April 2022 at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. And the Contact Group has helped ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself—and to forge a future force to deter more Russian aggression.
This administration has made its choice. So has a bipartisan coalition in Congress. The next administration must make its own choice.
